    I'm always up for more space Winnebagos.

    Love this rendition of the Battroid! https://x.com/feggxplus/status/1923304373481808124?s=46&t=NgApUr0JxJVmdHJ5mss_Sw

    Picked up some Gunpla round option hands and it’s going to make a big difference. Now to get a ball socket in there. I also need to make some tiny verniers from some of the runners since they are absent

    Currently playing Chaos Galaxy II that just came out for the Switch. It's an old school turn based 4X space conquest game with grid based fleet battles. I got the first one for like four bucks on a whim and was shocked at how good it was and how in depth the tactics were, and this one is no different. The aesthetics of the factions are pretty hilarious to me. It's like the devs threw a history book and 80s pop culture in a blender together. We got factions that look right at home in Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the ships and mecha to match, a faction that is basically skynet, a faction that is the East India Company, Fremen from Dune that control space worms, Japanese Samurai pirates seeking to rebuild after their home planet got nuked, space ancient Rome, space ancient Greece complete with mythical heroes like Heracles, and finally space America with generals based on the likes Amelia Earhart(who pilots a custom starfighter), and Teddy Roosevelt.😆 Did I mention the Space Dragons? A faction that are basically the Tyranids that pop up from outside the galaxy and consume all the biomass of a planet rendering it uninhabitable and the more planets they consume the more generals and fleets they get and the harder they become to stop? The political aspect is pretty fun as well, as this is one of the few 4X games that lets you continue to play if you become a vassal to a larger power and can even regain independence if you want.

    Genesis does! Sixteen-bit tactical espionage action. Can't do this on Nintendo! "Ummm, actually, that's an 8-bit game. Like, I'm pretty sure you're running modified MSX code on the Genesis Z80. And we did do this on Nintendo literally decades ago." Genesis does! What Nintendon't.

    The bottom is going to be Optimus' blocky chest with a couple intakes on the shoulders a la the Seekers. From what I can see of the fighter mode, it appears the shoulders are visible, as usual, along the sides of the jet, and I suspect the forearms will somehow, perhaps via a series of joints, fold in between the legs like most valks. The shield is attached to something, and I assume it's likely the forearms. Then again, the outer legs look squared off, so chances are far, far greater that Takara did their usual lazy approach and the forearms will simply tab into the outer legs and somewhat supply the curvy shape of the VF-19's legs/aft fuselage. They generally can't be bothered with finding better ways to engineer their jetformers, so why start now? The more they reveal of this thing, the more ass-tastic it looks to me. I much prefer my actual Macross toys to this. Too, I'm not a big fan of Basara anyway, so no real loss in passing.

    I'm pretty sure everything's an Optimus Prime because they sell more that way. There's people who have Optimus-only collections, and will buy any random thing that says Optimus Prime on the box but nothing else. I still think Basara should cross up with Armada Starscream, who is already 3/4s of a Fire Valkyrie. He even has a reasonable approximation of a sound booster pack as a character-specific gimmick! Failing that, Nekkimus Prime should be Rodimus-based, not Optimus-based. Especially if he's getting a Space Winnebago trailer.

    Oh, ok, I was wondering what was going on here. Thanks for the info

    Pretty sure he's the kind of Star Wars fan that actually likes anything associated with Star Wars.....
  13. Focslain
    Yeah, the Delta version has a catgirl pilot.

    Wow. This is a complete wtf mash up.. but why do i really want one..?!

    I do love the tweaks Sentinel did to the design: compacted the fighter mode, redesigned the transformation process to shorten the nosecone on the armo-soldier mode. Part of me wishes there was an option to angle the wings parallel to the ground, instead of having that downward cant. But there’s enough there that it doesn’t look out of place with the original Legioss design.

    When you consider every single Legioss toy (excluding kits) ever made since the 1980's, just for once I would like to see a company, no matter who... just take the original 1980's Anime design and make that. By that I mean, no more, revamped or re-imagined designs. Take the lessons from Sentinel and make the originals, they clearly proved it's possible in 1/48 scale to make very detail, high quality and solid fitting toy with accurate, impressive landing gear. Gakken: Big, bulky, hefty and for its day, a true legend. (No leg or arm locking mechanism's.) CM's: Oof-magoof! (No leg or arm locking mechanism's plus other issues.) Toynami: Looks pretty good but a QC nightmare all around, terrible landing gear. (Then & now) Evolution Toy: The irony of the word "Evolution" in your company name. (Poor quality overall and the worst hands ever designed.) Sentinel: Overall, very high quality, sturdy, rock solid, fighter mode looks amazing, however it is a re-imagined design, not OG. (Unpainted pilot figures are the only real negative IMO.) BANDAI or ARCADIA: The ball is in your court, seriously, just imagine an ARCADIA or Bandai made Legioss.

    I would love to know what Filoni thinks of Andor.

    I know, I know - hyperspace travel in "Star Wars" works however the writers need it to. But that system map has everything much "closer" together than it feels like it should. Its one of those cases where whats depicted in-universe is at odds with my head canon. 😄

    The $134.99 price at Crunchyroll was only part of a one-week sale; the set has returned to the usual $189.99. Still, it may be worth keeping an eye on the Crunchyroll site, through the remainder of May. Currently running is their Ani-May promotion. Occasionally with these types of month-long promotions, discounted products from earlier in the month will get a second relisting, during the sale's final week.

    Hmm. I wonder if I should make this into a 1/55 conversion kit. 🫠
  21. nightmareB4macross
    Sexy GERWALK pic incoming. Divert your eyes.
  22. nightmareB4macross
    Those look almost exactly the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used one to sculpt the other. Both released near the same time frame. Possibly, even similar sculptors of the time.

    I think some of us are forgetting the macross crossover figure was also Macross 7 25th Anniversary figure as well as the transformers 40th anniversary. Is Basara the face of Macross, I would say No, But is Basara the face of Macross 7? It is either him or Mylene depending on your preference, and as others have said Basara is pretty popular in japan. (Now that I think about it, how many toys have been made of the Fire Valkyrie? there have been many toys and transforming model kits, lots of versions. How many transforming versions of Mylene's Vf-11 custom are there? To my knowledge ZERO.) I can see the logic of the choices behind Basara Prime, but I am still not convinced of the execution of the concept. I have not seen clear enough pictures of his various modes to see if there is anything I like in there. I suspect the bottom of the jet mode will be much worse looking than I would like, and I still have not seen enough of his robot mode to understand what it is going on.

    As much as I would love that, Tony Gilroy has indicated he's not really interested in a long-term commitment to franchise filmmaking and there is no way Disney is brazen enough to do a partial reboot on Star Wars so soon after rebooting it the first time in order to get rid of the unremarkable and unsatisfying but financially successful sequel trilogy. It sucked before... we're just going to be more aware of how much it sucks now that Star Wars has, by luck or good judgement, produced a series that doesn't. Going back to shows that read like Dave Filoni playing with his Clone Wars and Rebels action figures is going to feel like one giant leap backwards creatively, but it's far too late for them to recalibrate their creative process for Ahsoka season two or Maul: Shadow Lord, both of which are Clone Wars/Rebels spinoffs.

    Looks like KC trolled us on the paint apps for this figure...unless these pics are the trolling pics...lol No idea how we'll be able to receive these figs in the US w/o getting the extra tax added to them upon delivery....
  26. MKT
    Yeah I guess the pilot-in-cockpit video KC released not too long ago wasn’t the final painted version.

    Macross CMS Figures

    That’s quite a nice collection when everything is laid out & displayed. I don’t have access to mine at moment, but I now recall there’s an inconsistency between my Sitting Minmays. The one from the Minmay Collection special set (which you have on the second row from front), has the desk leg a bit too long. As a result, Minmay is sort of straddling on both rear chair legs with the fronts off the ground. I can’t see if yours have that issue too since it happened to be blocked in the pic. The other watercolor sitting Minmay I have is fine though - exactly like yours, all 4 chair legs touching the ground with the desk leg being slightly angled forward.
